Easter flowers! We are changing things up this year to accommodate a low-contact environment at the church. We are accepting donations to fill the church with flowers, but they will not be available for pick-up on Easter Sunday. You can use the forms in the pews if you are joining us in person, or use this form to give online. ---------------------------------------------------
Our new member class begins THIS Sunday, so please remind anyone you know who has been visiting and feels ready for a greater commitment. Read all about it here.

Our monthly mission partner for March is Connections Shelter. Please read about our commitment on the blog.

Our new website and church management system, Breeze, offers so many exciting ways we can streamline our communication with you. Using Breeze to send you weekly updates is one of the ways we can keep our email list consistent and accurate (it also saves time and money!).
Additionally, our new website features a "News & Updates" blog, which you can follow right from the home page (blcmankato.org). By including all the details there, you can easily reference it at any time.

The website also integrates the Events Calendar from Breeze. You can view the calendar and event descriptions on the website, but you can also check into worship and register for events by using your own Breeze account (don't have one yet? Contact Emily in the office).
